Farmers falling back on chemical pesticides as GMO seeds falter http://rt.com/usa/gmo-corn-fails-against-pests-863/ Though biotech companies like Monsanto spent many millions creating and inserting genes that would make corn plants poisonous to the corn rootworm but harmless to other creatures, the pest has begun to develop an immunity.

Monsanto spends $4.5mn to defeat Washington state GE-food labeling measure 10 September, 2013 Agribusiness giant Monsanto invested $4.5mn in recent days to defeat a genetically-engineered-food labeling measure in Washington State, according to campaign contribution filings. The state ballot initiative, I-522, to require mandatory GE-food labeling will be on the ballot in November. Recent polling data shows the measure has strong support in the state. Agribusiness spent over $45mn on an anti-labeling campaign in California last year, as the state’s own ballot initiative, Proposition 37, was narrowly defeated. Should the measure pass, Washington would be the first state to implement a GE-food labeling law.

A general method to insert DNA into cells is to use viral vectors called plasmids. In GMO there might be be remnants of the viral vectors in the DNA surrounding inserted genes.

Called “The Monsanto Protection Act” by opponents, the budget rider shields biotech behemoths like Monsanto, Cargill and others from the threat of lawsuits and bars federal courts from intervening to force an end to the sale of a GMO (genetically-modified organism) even if the genetically-engineered product causes damaging health effects.

Lots of politicians seem to be bribed by big companies. And politicians are often very uneducated when it comes to natural sciences. The only thing I maybe can accept to eat that comes from GMO would be some single nature-identical simple chemicals such as sugar that can be purified very very much from any contaminations.
